Just click your way into the CFIA website from this one. It's got the lists and descriptions of what's allowed. As I suggested earlier on, if it's processed and packaged in the USA, and inspected by the FDA/USDA, you're good to go, up to 20kgs per person.
"Meat and poultry products (for example, jerky, sausages, deli meats and patties, foie gras)
up to 20 kilograms per person
packages must have identifying marks, indicating what the product is
proof of country of origin may be required
Meat and poultry: fresh, frozen and chilled
up to 20 kilograms per person
one turkey per person
packages must have identifying marks, indicating what the product is
proof of country of origin may be required
Please note: Within this limit on meat, the CBSA may have specific requirements.
Please consult the CBSA website for further information."
The CBSA warning just says to declare everything or face penalties. We usually just declare the $ value and whether we have groceries or dry goods, clothing, etc. and they decide the next move. Pass through, or secondary inspection. 99% of the time we pass through.
Just curious. Why did you think poultry was forbidden? We've been crossing the border regularly for 10 years and have never been refused importing anything, chickens included.
